Book Transmigration: A New Life in a Period Novel

Gu Hui was a wage slave who had finally managed to graduate from grad school, only for his mother to be diagnosed with terminal cancer. To keep her alive, he could do nothing but work himself to the bone. After three years of struggling, he was left with nothing, having lost both his money and his loved ones.

The pressures of life, the oppression of work, and the collapse of his faith in family drove him into severe depression. He became a delivery driver just to make ends meet. Then an accident transmigrated him into the period novel he had been listening to, as a minor character who appeared in just one chapter.

And not just any minor character, either: he was a stepping stone for the novel's heroine. But a minor character was fine by him. Once he broke away from the novel's main plot, that would be a new life for him, Gu Hui.

The trouble was, even Gu Hui didn't know what he wanted out of life. So he would take his time and search for an answer in this world of the book.
